    Summary

    “El-“ she heard Mike say but she was quickly guided away from her friends, she couldn’t stop, it was like her legs had minds of their own.

    She could still feel the presence of the unknown figure behind her but their hand had moved off of her shoulder. The footsteps of her friends quickly followed behind as her legs brought her to the far side of the mall out of sight from the public.

    “Hey! Who the heck are you people?” Max questioned. There was no answer.

    “We asked you a question! Who are you and what do you want with us?” Lucas’ voice was filled with anger at the audacity of the people.

    Summary

    “But I might not know what I’m talking about - I’ve only ever had a crush on Suzie and, as we know, she’s the love of my life.”

    Dustin says proudly, getting a few groans, a full set of rolled eyes and some distant gagging noises - Will can bet money it’s Max - before continuing.

    “Mike, what do you think?”

    Will turns to face his best friend, who very pointedly avoids his eyes.

    “I-uh. You know I haven’t been in a relationship since El.”

    Lucas and El exchange a look - something that Will can’t quite place - something that feels like an unspoken pact of interrogation, before scooting closer to Mike, as if cornering him.

    “That wasn’t the question, Mike.

    or

    Will gets sick and tired of never knowing if someone has a crush on him, so he asks for advice. Why do all the signs point to Mike?

    Summary

    “We're not getting back together.”
    Will frowns, even though his traitorous heart does a happy dance at the thought. “Surely you can't have screwed up that bad.”
    Mike shakes his head. “Will,” he says. “I broke it off.”
    Interesting.
    Will is, without any doubt, fully awake now.

    Summary

    It’s Valentine’s Day and everyone expects Mike to take out his super pretty girlfriend — to buy her flowers and gifts. Apparently everyone around him got that memo but Mike Wheeler himself.

    Girls are high maintenance, his father keeps telling him and he’s sick of that phrase.
    Because Will isn’t.

    To care for Will is rather easy, to buy him a meaningful flower bouquet is thrilling and to pick out his favorite chocolate is like second nature.

    Mike simply doesn’t understand why nobody else in the world gets that.

     

    or: basically Mike being an oblivious idiot that gives Will the full boyfriend-treatment without noticing it.
